***********************************
Hello Dancers,
Thanks to all the dancers who came out to visit and dance last Sunday, We
hope that the several visiting dancers enjoyed the night. The pair of
Two-Step lessons gave everyone enough moves and technique to keep busy until
next Sunday when we continue with the Two-Step series. Please dress cool if
you are coming. The sun blasting in the front windows warms the studio up
past the capacity of the two air conditioners. We will bring in yet another
fan next week.
*********************************************
This week's song is, in keeping with our favorite dance, Country Two-Step.
The song, "You Ain't in it" by Diamond Rio will also be noticed by all the
teachers on my email list. I picked up this song after winning the CD "Love
a little Stronger" in a contest by a local DJ. It's a pretty good album and
has a couple of the early songs by Diamond Rio that were much better for
dancing. Also check out another popular Two-Step by Diamond Rio, "Norma Jean
Riley" I don't have it but love to Two-Step to it. If you like Triple-Two,
the song "Bubba Hyde" is also a great dance song.
If you like good dance music come out and visit this Sunday ay "A Time to
Dance"
**********************************************
The Web site that I like the best this week is the national USABDA site
found at http://usabda.org It takes a little
work, as in most sites, to look
at everything but there is information on the site for most Ballroom
dancers. If you are into Country, Swing and Latin you have to look elsewhere
but I found some pretty good information on Ballroom Dancing from both a
social and competition viewpoint.
**********************************************
Slow Dancing:
Easy? Don't bet on it! If you think you have good dance frame, control of
your energy and all that stuff try out a painfully slow Waltz. This is a
good way to find out how much control you actually have. I have a tough time
with practicing slow but also use another technique that's easier and good
for practice also. I call it dancing small. I try to see just how small I
can make my steps and still be moving. (I think you can just shift weight
and still consider it dancing. It just doesn't get you anywhere). Seriously,
it seems to me that to practice slow and small will make you think about
where each foot falls and allow time to pay attention to details. Try it
sometime.
